The Bubble Bath Was Ready. Someone Else Climbed In First.

AI imagepugbubble bathbathroom

A fawn Pug is sitting in a tub of white bubbles with a puff of suds balanced on each ear like two tiny hats. The big dark eyes are rolled sideways toward the camera, and the wrinkled forehead says that he knows he was not invited. The bubbles are thick around his chest, and the tub's edge is crowded with a basket of laundry, a bar of soap, a pair of glasses, and a towel draped over the cabinet. Everything is quiet and damp, and there is not a splash in sight.

Pugs love comfort and company, so a warm, cozy tub can seem like a very good idea. Their short muzzles, however, mean they can overheat easily and sometimes breathe noisily, so it is best to keep baths warm instead of hot and to avoid leaving a Pug alone in water. The skin folds on a Pug's face also need attention, because moisture can sit in the wrinkles, and gently drying them after a bath is a good habit. Use only soap made for dogs, since human bubble bath can irritate skin. Your vet can recommend a grooming routine that suits your dog.

The tub may have been meant for someone else, but this Pug has settled in as if the spa day had been booked for him. Some dogs are shy about water, and some quietly climb in and wait for the bubbles to do their work. This one clearly belongs to the second group, and the foam ears are the finishing touch.
